<p><strong>1) </strong>Director Eytan Fox’s new film <em>Yossi</em> opens in New York today with a Los Angeles release to follow on February 8. The film is a sequel to Fox’s 2002 short <em>Yossi &amp; Jagger</em> which told the love story of two Israeli soldiers. <em>Yossi </em>focuses on the life of one of those soldiers following the tragic aftermath of the first film, as he attempts to live a more honest life than he allowed himself previously and opens himself up to the possibility of new love. Watch the film’s trailer below.

We want that golden popcorn! To my knowledge, a sincere, passionate, romantic gay kiss has never won, so I think that would be a very cool thing for this movie to receive.” Another film gathering some buzz is <em>Concussion</em>, a drama about a lesbian housewife who begins a secret life as an escort following a head injury, which has been <a href="http://www.indiewire.com/article/sundance-2013-radius-twc-acquires-sexy-lesbian-drama-concussion" target="_blank">picked up by RADiUS-TWC for North American distribution</a>.
